"Surprise"? Why? Failed assassination attempts don't normally boost a presidential campaign - esp when the shooter is 1 of your own supporters. Here's something all the many Biden doomers should consider. TIPP, the most accurate pollster in 2020, has had Biden a few percent ahead or tied all year.

"Following the failed assassination attempt on Saturday, former President Donald Trump did not see a polling boost, in the first presidential survey taken since the event....In fact, Trump's lead has narrowed slightly since an earlier poll taken July 12-14" lol. lmao www.rawstory.com/trump-pollin...

before the election, Democrats really need to get together and make a push to move all official comms off the platform (probably to Threads). Want to cross-post it to Vichy Twitter on a few-hours delay? Go ahead. But don't give reporters the excuse of "I need to read Nancy Pelosi's official account"

Dipping back into Twitter to lurk on assassination stuff and truly, from the bottom of my heart, unless you have massively curated lists, no one in media or politics should be microwaving their neurons on there.

I assure you, no one is psychologically strong enough to overcome repeated exposure to propaganda messages. Even if you reject them personally they become a heuristic for how you think other people think.

if you’re talking about “irrevocably altering the race in the former president’s favor” after 14 hours, you’re not reporting observable truth, you’re willing it into existence

… it’s been like 14 hours?

Senate Dems should take one of their assorted gun control bills off the shelf, rename it something like "Trump Assassination Prevention Act," and force Rs to do a talking filibuster to block it

Unpleasant thoughts about that Heritage Foundation freak talking about how they'll have "a bloodless revolution, if the left allows it to be" and how this definitely qualifies as the safeties-off moment they've been touching themselves fantasizing about for decades

This was The Matrix (before The Matrix) meets Memento (before Memento). This movie is spectacular.

Dark City (1998) is on Tubi right now and it's fucking great, I can't believe I hadn't seen this film before. I normally fall asleep next to my dog while trying to watch movies at night but I watched this one all the way through without even yawning, strongly recommended

SCOTUS essentially restructured American governance over the last couple of weeks. Even if you can get past the 8 million Biden old stories in the Times to the people whose job it is to cover the court, you would have no idea of the scale of the changes made.

Wait till you get to the discussion of Loper Bright, Corner Post, and Jarkesy aka the “deep state” cases www.nytimes.com/2024/07/08/p...

Far-right chud in NYT: "They went about the ordinary business of life - laboring, raising children, worshipping their creator - untroubled by futile expectations of change." Medieval commoners: "I would rather the king and all kings were dead than that my son should be hurt on his little finger."

More anti-democratic thoughts from 2018 the NYT allowed this writer to exclude from his current piece. Delivered with an air of detached irony, as if he miiight be joking or exaggerating. But is he?

On the eve of Independence Day, the Supreme Court rules the Revolution was wrong.

so ahead of the immunity ruling, there was the notion going around that it couldnt happen because the obviously insane consequence would be that such a ruling would allow Pres. Biden to order Seal Team 6 to kill Trump. Where did that notion go?

And people who depend on governmental enforcement of child support payments. And people who depend on food assistance. And so many more. Burning it all down leaves a LOT of people in the lurch, and they won't all make it out.

Bringing back this 2016 banger: Hi! During the upheaval of your glorious revolution, I need to know what kind of healthcare you'll have in place. People who depend on steady supplies of lifesaving medication don't suddenly stop existing during a revolution.
